Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extend a flat under permitted development?

Flats and maisonettes generally do not benefit from permitted development rights for extensions.

What happens if permitted development rights have been removed?

If rights have been removed by planning condition or Article 4 Direction, you will likely need to submit a full planning application before building.

Is there a limit on total site coverage?

Yes. Extensions and outbuildings combined must not cover more than 50% of the curtilage of the original house.

Do conservation areas affect permitted development rights?

Yes. Properties within conservation areas often have additional restrictions, and some permitted development rights may be limited or removed entirely.

How high can my extension be?

Height limits vary, but rear extensions under permitted development generally cannot exceed four metres for detached houses or three metres for others.

Can I add a balcony to my extension?

Balconies and raised platforms are not permitted development and usually require planning permission.
